Petition Reduce VAT to 5% for the Fitness industry to survive

Cut VAT on health and fitness services including personal training, gyms and any physical activities which can protect, preserve and enhance physical, mental and emotional health, helping relieve the burden on the NHS caused by obesity. This reduction in cost would make exercise more affordable.
